Where Should We Go

她和她，两人之间悬而未决的问题让她们共同踏上了一段寻找解决办法的旅行。但是她们也不知道到底要去哪。一个人总在提问，而另一个人总是没有答案。是这儿吗，还是那儿？就像人生道路上，永远无法知道下一刻会去到哪里。而她们拥有彼此，去面对未知所带来的恐惧和焦虑。她们最终会找到答案的——这场旅行，这段人生，也许都只是一场梦。这场梦，就只发生在一个地方——此刻。

Between her and her, the unresolved questions send them on a quest for solutions. But they have no idea where they are going. One keeps asking; the other never has an answer. Is it here, or over there? Just like on the path of life, you can never know where you will be the next moment. And they have each other to face the fear and anxiety that comes with the unknown. They will find the answer in the end – this journey, this life, perhaps it is all just a dream. This dream only takes place in one instant – this moment.

在这几年的创作中，我一直做着剧场和电影的实验性融合与尝试。这一次我想用剧场即兴创排的方式来拍摄一部影片。在真实生活场景的舞台，演员自由地感受与表达。只有场景、只有人物，前期没有剧本和台词。拍摄了大量素材之后，后期再用电影剪辑的方式讲述整个故事，探索着虚构和真实、亲密和情感、表演和生活，以及人生哲学。整个团队只有一行四个人，我和我的爱人作为摄影师，去一同记录两位演员在镜头前和镜头外的真实。这场拍摄，对所有人来说，是一场旅行，也是一场互相信任的创作探索，每个人都在创作和表达着自己在画面每一帧的“此刻”的真实感受。

Over the past few years, I have been consistently experimenting with the fusion of theater and film. This time, I want to make a film using the improvisational methods in theater. On a stage set in real-life environments, the actors are free to feel and express themselves. There are only scenes and characters – no script or lines prepared in advance. The narrative is constructed in post-production with massive footage collected through film editing, exploring the boundaries between fiction and reality, intimacy and emotion, performance and life, as well as the philosophy of life. The entire team consists of merely four people: my partner and I as cinematographers, documenting the reality of the two actors both in front of and “behind” the camera. The shooting process for everyone involved is both a journey and an exploration of mutual trust. Each person creates and expresses their own genuine feeling in every frame of the “present moment.”
